And so the knight moved on through the castle, past the peasants and peons, and eventually came to the castle. The sentries moved to block him, ‘Whoah there, good sir knight. Who are you and what is your business here?’ The knight looked surprised, but as he was covered in the blood of the green dragon realised he might not be recognisable. ‘I am the black knight, from the black lands, and this is my trusty stead, blacky. I bring the head of the red dragon and am covered in his blood’ The guards stared for a while, and then slowly realised. ‘Ah, we’re sorry good sir knight, we didn’t recognise you covered in blood. Please proceed’. And so the knight dismounted and entered the castle.
Approaching the throne room, the sentries moved to block him, ‘Whoah there, good sir knight. Who are you and what is your business here?’. ‘I am the black knight, from the black lands, and my trusty stead, blacky, is outside. I bring the head of the green dragon and am covered in his blood.’ The guards stared for a while, and then slowly realised. ‘Ah, we’re sorry good sir knight, we didn’t recognise you covered in blood. Please proceed’. And so the knight moved through.
As the knight moved towards the king, his personal soldiers moved to block the way. ‘Whoah there, good sir knight. Who are you and what is your business here?’ ‘I am the black knight, from the black lands, and I bring the head of the green dragon and am covered in his blood’ The guards stared for a while, and then slowly realised. ‘Ah, we’re sorry good sir knight, we didn’t recognise you covered in blood. You must have your armour shined before approaching the king!’ And so the paige was called for, and he cleaned and buffed the knights armour to a shine.
The knight finally approached the king, who bid him bow before him. ‘Sire, I bring to you the head of the green dragon’. The king clapped in glee, and then decreed that, as he promised, a castle would be given to the black knight. And everyone rejoiced. Before the black knight turned to leave though, the king coughed, ‘Good sir knight, wouldst thou be interested in a new quest? 100 Miles west, there is a golden dragon. Bring me his head, and you may have anything you wish for!’ The knight looked and bowed at the king. ‘I will return with the head of the golden dragon!’ and so he turned and left.
Riding west on his trusty black stead, blacky, the black knight quickly reached the cavern. Dismounting and leaving blacky by a watering hole, the knight crept into the cavern. There, at the end of a vast space sat a huge golden dragon on a horde of treasure. Noticing the knight, the dragon started. ‘WHO DARES DISTURB ME? THE GOLDEN DRAGON!’ The knight approached slowly, ‘I am the black knight, from the black lands. And I am here to slay you for the great king’. And so battle ensued. After a long and bloody fight, the dragon was defeated. The black knight took its severed head as proof and returned to the castle.
As he approached the outer gate, the sentries moved to block him, ‘Whoah there, good sir knight. Who are you and what is your business here?’ The knight looked surprised, but as he was covered in the blood of the golden dragon realised he might not be recognisable. ‘I am the black knight, from the black lands, and this is my trusty stead, blacky. I bring the head of the golden dragon and am covered in his blood’ The guards stared for a while, and then slowly realised. ‘Ah, we’re sorry good sir knight, we didn’t recognise you covered in blood. Please proceed’. And so the knight moved through.
As he approached the portcullis, the sentries moved to block him, ‘Whoah there, good sir knight. Who are you and what is your business here?’ The knight looked surprised, but as he was covered in the blood of the golden dragon realised he might not be recognisable. ‘I am the black knight, from the black lands, and this is my trusty stead, blacky. I bring the head of the golden dragon and am covered in his blood’ The guards stared for a while, and then slowly realised. ‘Ah, we’re sorry good sir knight, we didn’t recognise you covered in blood. Please proceed’. The portcullis was raised, and the knight moved through.
And so the knight moved on through the castle, past the peasants and peons, and eventually came to the castle. The sentries moved to block him, ‘Whoah there, good sir knight. Who are you and what is your business here?’ The knight looked surprised, but as he was covered in the blood of the golden dragon realised he might not be recognisable. ‘I am the black knight, from the black lands, and this is my trusty stead, blacky. I bring the head of the golden dragon and am covered in his blood’ The guards stared for a while, and then slowly realised. ‘Ah, we’re sorry good sir knight, we didn’t recognise you covered in blood.

Please proceed’. And so the knight moved through.
As the knight moved towards the king, his personal soldiers moved to block the way. ‘Oh no’ said one..
……’not that bloody knight again!’
